Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, we just heard another member from the party opposite say that he believes there should be a price on pollution. I am confused. We know we need to be working with small businesses, and that is exactly what we are doing. I have seen small businesses across the countr

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, I cannot tell you how much it warms my heart to hear the member opposite talk about how there should be a price on pollution. I am surprised, though, because the member opposite did not vote in support of a price on pollution. Yes, we have said that big polluters hav

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, forgive me if I am confused, because this is the party that does not support a price on pollution. This is the party that voted against the Canada child benefit that has raised 300,000 children out of poverty. This is the party that voted against middle-class tax cut

Global Warming Mr. Speaker, I would invite the member opposite to come cycling with me to the office at any time. We have a plan to tackle climate change. The party opposite does not have a plan. Why do those members not talk about their plan? We have a plan and we are implementing it. We hav
